Whenever there is a system update available, your Samsung device will send you a notification to download and install the update. But some people choose to ignore this notification. For one reason or another, you think you can avoid installing the update for a while.

Maybe you don't have a Wi-Fi connection or maybe you don't have the necessary storage space to complete the update process. Even more, people ignore the update thinking that upgrades don't matter anymore and think it is just a way to introduce new features on to the device that they don't need.

In fact, the new features are just sort of the icing on the cake and the significant security and privacy enhancements an update brings are the most important reason to never ignore the Samsung system update notification. An update is designed to improve the way your device works and therefore it is very important.

Option 3. Perform Samsung System Update via Kies

You may also be able to update your Samsung device using the Samsung Kies software.

Step 2: Launch whatever version of Samsung Kies you have installed on your device and then connect the Samsung device to the computer using USB cables. Once the program recognizes the device, click on "Firmware Upgrade" to begin the process.

Step 3: Check the box marked "I have read all the above information" and then click on "Start Upgrade".

Step 4: Kies will download and install the latest firmware components on the device. When the process is complete, click "OK" and then disconnect your device from the computer.
